TikToker arrested in Lahore for cheating Ertugrul star
44
LAHORE: The Lahore Crime Investigation (CIA) on Thursday arrested known TikToker Kashif Zameer Chaudhry for defrauding Turkish actor Engin Altan Duzyatan who played the role of Ertugrul Ghazi in historical drama serial, Dirilis: Ertugrul.
The arrest came shortly after the Racecourse Police registered a case against Kashif on the complaint of Mr Engin who had alleged that the suspect had misused his (Turkish TV star) to earn illegal benefits. He also alleged that the suspect had also issued him bogus cheques against some agreements and defamed him by using his name and pictures without his permission for ulterior motives.
The Turkish actor had submitted application online with a request to the inspector general of police for action against the TikToker who claimed to be owner of Chaudhry Group of Companies.
The suspect is known for his love of wearing heavy gold chains and keeping pet lions at home.
CIA DSP Mian Shafqat said Kashif had issued a bogus cheque of Rs90m in the name of Mr Engin.
The CIA traced six more such criminal cases registered against Kashif in Lahore and Sialkot, showing him a habitual fraudster.
Engin Altan Duzyatan had travelled to Pakistan on the invitation of the suspect last year and signed a contract with him. After the contact, it was found that the suspect had sent him bogus cheques for payments.

Our fellow pakistanis are now also cheating foreigners. How sad.
PM IK should now direct the Government of Pakistan to reimbuse the Turk, what he has been swindled out of.

What a shame. I think GoP should officially invite Engin home on official visit to remove the negative perception created by this fraudster about Pakistan and Pakistanis

He loved Pakistan and Pakistanis except for this PML N crook.

No need, the fraudster has been caught. As he is a PML N member, he must have a lot of corrupt money hidden somewhere.

Investigate thoroughly and if found guilty then send him behind bars for fraud and maligning nation's name. Such politicians and people are shame for Pakistan and must be punished severely to deter others - don't let them get away.

this is one of the few reasons why most foreigners don't do business deals with Pakistanis. Pakistan should set a good example by charging Kashif.

@Irshad Agha NYC, Why IK or Government of Pakistan to reimburse the Turk, He came for his own benefit without Government Knowledge, All IK should do now to bring strict rules to stop this nonsense and People like Kashif should be punished. Also, any foreigners who wanted to work on any project in Pakistan Media or elsewhere should be contacted to Foreign Office and they verify the individuals.
